The Hotties of Harm Reduction is a community effort and this year many people were involved in making this project a success. More than 30 people were involved in the creation of the calendar. We are all volunteers and we work collectively. Many of us wore multiple hats, both modeling and offering our services in a variety of other ways. Almost all of the models and staff actually work in harm reduction and ALL of us believe very strongly in the fundamental necessity of more humane drug laws, more rational drug policies and the work of our brothers and sisters trying to reduce the harm caused by drugs in our communities and lives.

Our fabulous staff includes:

Andrea Zeppa, Event Coordinator
Catherine Swanson*, Project Coordinator/Model
Cynthia Cox, Model Release Coordinator/Model
Emilie Huriaux, Silent Auction Coordinator/Model
Erika Sawyer, Assistant Event Coordinator/Model
Ian McLeod*, Web Site & Web Sales God/Model
Jenine Guerriere, Bulk Order Sales Coordinator

In addition to the individual efforts of the people staffing and modeling for the calendar we would like to thank the following for their support:

Design Action, our designer, and Inkworks Press, our printer, both of whom gave us staggering discounts and really sound advice that we are eternally grateful for. We would also like to thank our friends in the harm reduction community:

• Berkeley Free Clinic, for supporting us in a number of ways.
• Drug Policy Alliance, for their support promoting the calendar
• Harm Reduction Coalition, for their support promoting the calendar and for lending us their offices on the West Coast
• HCV Advocate, who generously shared their space with us
• North American Syringe Exchange Network, for their support promoting the calendar
• Common Sense for Drug Policy, from whom we steal our drug facts.

And finally a very special thanks to this year’s Major Hotties:

• Jon C. Swanson, whose contribution, is dedicated to Rick Thornton.
• Richard D. Huriaux, whose contribution, is dedicated to Monica.
• Anonymous.

Thank you everyone!

In solidarity-
